Nancy J. Karlin, PhD FGSA

Professor
University of Northern Colorado
Greeley, Colorado, United States

Nancy J. Karlin, Ph.D. is a professor in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Northern Colorado. As an experimental social psychologist, she has specific interests in familial caregiving of Alzheimer’s disease patients and professional caregiving of the aging patient. For more than thirty years, she has conducted a program of research devoted to understanding both the familial caregiver and issues relating to care of the chronically ill. Recently she has collected data in Italy, South Africa, Botswana, Italy, Thailand, Japan, Tunisia, China, and the United States as part of an effort to develop a cross-national framework on perceptions of aging. In 2015, Nancy began investigating service utilization habits of older adults in rural counties. She has recently interviewed service providers and older adults throughout Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska. This area of research has broadened to include frontier areas and Hispanic/Non-Hispanic White comparisons of service use. She is the Convention Coordinator for the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association, member of the Association of Psychological Sciences, and the Gerontological Society of America. Her recent publications can be found in the The Gerontologist, International Psychology Bulletin, Ageing International, The International Journal of Aging in Society, Journal of Aging and Social Policy, Journal of Aging and Environment, Sage Open, Journal of Loss and Trauma, Activities, Adaptation, and Aging, and other journals.
